I definitely think the best things in life are not free. There are so many examples I can name. For one, every thing you want in life you have to work hard to earn it. Nothing is given to you for free. Everything in life costs you or someone else money, time, or effort.

This includes all the important things in life like air, freedom, life, living, love, children, marriage, jobs, and friendships. However, if we consider the meaning of free, "without cost of any kind to anyone at any time--past, present or future", it would be hard to find anything that is free. Every aspect of life carries some sort of commitment.

Freedom is not free. In order for this great country of ours to possess freedom that it offers, countless numbers…show more content…

There are those these things must be provided for and we do, because they cannot. Then there are those who refuse to work to provide these things for them--the rest of us bear the burden of doing so. Furthermore, death is not free. Just ask those who pay for the memorials of that dear departed loved one. Pain and grief that caused by separation from those we love causes the emotional cost that is great and sometimes overwhelming for long periods.

Air, even the air we breathe is not free. Just one aspect of it not being free is the many companies and agencies that fight to keep "clean air" at the forefront of the world's attention. Much of the cost of living is due to various programs that operate (at least under this appearance) to clean up the air and keep certain harmful elements at acceptable levels.

Love is not free. "Free love" became a catch phrase during the so-called hippie era of our society, but that was not, and never will be love, it was just plain ole' lust. Love lasts beyond the space of a few moments of passion because love and includes a commitment. The pleasure of passion was a reward of commitment to love, but in today's world, we want the pleasure without the commitment. Dangerous foolishness of lust will hurt emotionally, mentally, physically, and financially, for whoever is involved in such actions. Not anyone who thinks love is free has ever counted the cost of

A DIVISION OF LOXAFAMOSITY The Bible and Childbearing

PO BOX 9291 - MOSCOW, ID - 83843
Overview: Even though the Bible has nothing directly to say about abortion, it has plenty to say about pregnancy and childbearing. One way to address the issue of abortion is to compare the place of childbearing in the Bible to the place of childbearing in a worldview that accepts abortion. Thus, an appropriate question to ask is: does the practice of abortion, the deliberate termination of a pregnancy…

Understanding Free Speech in a Free Society
The United States Constitution granted citizens of the United States several basic liberties. The Bill of Rights 10 which is amendments guaranteeing basic individual protection such as freedom of speech and of religion–became part of the Constitution in 1791 (history.com). While most rights are accepted and welcomed in colleges and universities, free speech comes with limitations. The First Amendment to the US Constitution states:…

can hide the grain of the wood; and that the more varnish you put on, the more the grain will express itself. (Chapter XXII, p. 214)
Pip is the varnished wood. He becomes less and less of a gentleman as he goes on, until he shows himself to be nothing but selfish. When Magwitch returns, Pip is tested. He turns out to have some gentleman in him after all, but he does not find it until he loses everything.
Pip finally accepts that true wealth is in friends and loved ones. At the end, he cares…

take being a free country for granted. Many citizens do not realize how many different countries are not free, or only partial free. One country that is partially free is Papua New Guinea, this country is located north of Australia, which is a free country. A country that is not free is Zimbabwe, which is located in the continent of Africa. Africa has countries that are free, partially, and not free. However they are mainly not free. People who live in a non-free or partially free country live…

leading to a priceless product. Cell phones are often advertised as being free. In economics, it is said that nothing of value is either free or priceless, everything has a price. Take something from your experience, that is allegedly free or priceless and use the concepts of accounting costs, economic costs, explicit costs, implicit costs, opportunity costs and sunk costs to explain why it is neither priceless nor free.

There is nothing wrong with the world; something is going way much incorrect with the people in it. People are not introspective enough and waste too much time giving the agony that they are encountering on others around them. They are not considering about what they are currently doing and often they don’t realize it. We are focused on outside matters and entities and the problem with the “World” instead of intensifying ourselves and acknowledging our own “Problems.”
I think all of the “World’s”…

How Free is Free Speech?
I. Introduction
Why would a seventy-year-old philosopher be put to death for what he was teaching in a society enjoying more freedom and democracy than any the world had ever seen? Plato (427-347 B.C.E.) is especially important to the understanding of the trial of Socrates because he, along with Xenophon, wrote the only two surviving accounts of the defense (or apology) of Socrates. Plato’s account is generally given…

Then, the far one straight ahead?”
Todd nodded excitedly and turned to Nathan who kept pointing at the building.
“Keep watching that building, nothing but net."
From where he was standing beside Todd's bed, he leapt across the room and through the window, disappearing below. Todd waited and watched for him to return to the large building to the right, but nothing. He waited a bit longer and started to get worried when suddenly like a rocket he saw Nathan flying straight up the side of it. He reached…
